Have you received multiple OHAOs during a difficult period in your life—such as a divorce, the loss of a loved one, depression, or other traumatic life events? Many people make poor decisions during some of the most challenging times of their lives. While those mistakes can have serious consequences, they do not have to define the rest of your future.

If you have made meaningful changes, achieved sobriety, and are committed to living a responsible lifestyle, you may be eligible to restore your driving privileges in Michigan. The Michigan Secretary of State's Office of Hearings and Administrative Oversight (OHAO) is responsible for conducting driver's license restoration hearings for individuals whose licenses have been revoked due to multiple alcohol-related driving offenses. The restoration process requires substantial documentation, including a substance use evaluation, drug screening, support letters, and testimony demonstrating that your alcohol or substance abuse problem is under control and likely to remain under control.

Preparing for an OHAO hearing can be overwhelming. Success often depends on presenting a well-organized case, providing accurate documentation, and effectively communicating the positive changes you have made in your life. The Michigan Secretary of State allows individuals to represent themselves, but many applicants choose to work with experienced professionals who understand the process and common issues that can lead to a denial.

At Change Me Works, we understand that a revoked license can affect every area of your life—from employment opportunities and family responsibilities to your ability to move forward. We can connect you with experienced attorneys who regularly handle Michigan license restoration cases and understand what OHAO hearing officers are looking for during the appeal process.

You made mistakes. Many people have. What matters now is whether you have genuinely changed your life and are ready to demonstrate that change. If you are serious about restoring your driving privileges, Change Me Works can help guide you toward the next step.
